Theory Examination:
Question paper will comprise of total 7 questions, each of 20 marks. Only 5 questions need to be solved. Q.1 will be compulsory and based on the entire syllabus. Remaining questions will be mixed in nature. In question paper weightage of each module will be proportional to the number of respective lecture hours as mentioned in the syllabus Term work: Term work consists of minimum eight experiments and a written test. The distribution of the term work shall be as follows, Laboratory work (Experiments and Journal) :10 marks Test (at least one) :10 marks Attendance (Practical and Theory) :05 marks The final certification and acceptance of term-work ensures the satisfactory performance of laboratory work and minimum passing in the term-work. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
